Celebrate
the National Park Service’s 99th Birthday with Free Entry to All
National Parks on Tuesday August 25th.

President Woodrow Wilson signed the
Organic Act on August 25, 1916.This act
created the National Park Service.The
National Park Service was a federal bureau within the Department of the
Interior that would be responsible for protecting the 35 national parks and
monuments currently established and those yet to be established.To date there are now 408 national parks!

This year marks the 99th
anniversary of the Organic Act and birthday of the National Park Service.To celebrate the occasion, fees will be
waived on August 25th at all national parks.

To celebrate the upcoming centennial
of the National Park Service, in 2016, the National Park Foundation launched
their Find Your Park campaign to encourage everyone to
get up, get out there and #FindYourPark - no matter your interest.

There are many ways to
celebrate the 99th birthday of the National Park Service.If you can only think of a few, the National
Park Service has created a list of 99 ways to celebrate the occasion.

Get out on Tuesday August 25th
and enjoy a national park near you! To add our own #100, you can celebrate the 99th birthday of the National Park Service by planting a tree!
